Just wandered past a minor keruffle, over the right to write humor fic. Presumably the conclusion was: "Yes, but not about this, because this is personal to me."

Now I have commented negatively on a fic that freaked me out badly in my own journal. I Flocked it, because yes it is a bit of a shitty thing to do maybe. The fact of the matter is, I ( Read more... )

My Media player just cut from Jamiroquai telling me to RISE UP and give love a chance, but I'm totally ignoring that bit to Uddo Lindenberg mocking DDR honcho Honecker! And I was all, yes! Yes please! Someone hand me a burning TORCH!

When did my playlist become so revolutionary?!?! Commie blood on both sides of the family tree. Those roots were ( Read more... )

I wish Stargate Atlantis S4 would hurry up and get here. I mean, what the hell! I thought you yanks didn't do endless hiatuses?!?!  (I acknowledge that this might be part of my American fairytale, as first taught by Jerry Springer... letting that show get past your borders was undoubtebly the biggest mistake in the history of the country! I don't ( Read more... )

Okay the weather has been insane for AGES now! Stop raining damn it! We're already a meter below sea level!

Doctor Who finale

I am so fucking proud of Martha Jones. I know that in my last review I was all scornful and claimed that if she ever left the Tardis it would be for love... and I was totally right, but I sort of loved her for it. Mind I would ( Read more... )

I know there's already been a lot of discussion on LJ about critical reviewing.

I've always been firmly in the camp that a critical review can be a great writers tool. I welcome critical reviews (not that I write a lot, but more on that later) and when I get critical, I try very hard to give tips and explain what didn't really work, without being ( Read more... )

To find out I googled my username.

Apparentally this year I:

-suggested a funny statue in Amsterdam, which promply made number 32 on the World's funniest statues list! (go me! It also got used as illustration for someone's spanish poetry and I got special credit, even though I made neither the picture or the statue... er?)

-freaked out on the Gilles ( Read more... )

I totally blanked on the fact that DOCTOR WHO was on tonight! I FAIL AT LIFE! is what I would say if I was even more of a drama queen.

So... fresh air/ sunshine/ fun RL social activities instead of Scifi... I think... this is... progress?

I bought a pile of newspapers from 1953 for 5 euros on the free market (a lot of doubles sadly, but I can think of a few people I can make happy with a historical paper). They're mostly about a massive flooding in Holland back in the day, that killed a lot of people, so that's probably not in everyone's field of interest.

On one front page though,  ( Read more... )

Okay, so maybe I'm a freak for being into shows as intensely as I am (though I think that goes for most of the folks in fandom and scifi fans are particularly notorious, so what the hell), but why, oh why! don't the people who are actually in charge of canon seem to have an continuinity fairy!

Do they honestly not know every little freckle on their ( Read more... )
